For 2007, the Chrysler Crossfire features a unique monochromatic look. A monotone Bright Silver Metallic exterior paint scheme gives the 2007 Chrysler Crossfire a sleek, modern appearance that’s as distinct as the car itself. Also updated for 2007 is a new set of standard safety features that include a front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS), a multi-stage driver front air bag that is designed to deploy at different levels depending on the severity of impact and a passenger front air bag.

New standard safety equipment also includes driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners and constant force retractors, as well as knee air bags for both drivers and passengers. The Chrysler Crossfire has won multiple awards, including a spot on the 2006 Consumer Reports Recommended list, SmartMoney magazine’s Best New Car Values (Sports Car Segment) and the 500,000th U.S. patent for the Roadster design.

Chrysler did the impossible at the reveal of the 2007 Chrysler Aspen. It made it snow inside Cobo Convention Hall. All it took was a few hundred pounds of tissue paper, a 10-foot-tall fan and the willingness to spend a big chunk of money to get its first SUV noticed. The Crossfire is available in coupe and convertible body styles, both of which come in either base or Limited trim. Base models are available only with a manual transmission, and come with such features as stability control; dual-zone air conditioning; a four-speaker CD stereo; cloth upholstery; a height-adjustable driver seat; a leather-wrapped steering wheel; power windows, mirrors and locks; and on convertibles, a power top with defrostable rear glass.

Limited models add an eight-speaker, 240-watt Infinity stereo system, power-adjustable leather seats with heaters, more sound insulation, a tire-pressure display and various upgraded trim pieces. The standard wheel/tire arrangement calls for 18s in front (225/40ZR Michelin Pilots) and 19s in back (sized 255/35); buyers can get all-season tires as a low-cost option. Also optional is a DVD-based navigation system on Limited models.
